13. Useful tips

13.1 Reading man pages in KDE

Pop up the minicli window (Alt-F2 by default) and type: 'man:<command>'. It even unpacks on the fly when gzipped.

13.2 Move or resize windows quickly

To move a window, press the Alt key and click the left mouse button together on the window. Alt-right mouse button will resize it. Last but not least, Alt-middle mouse button raises/lowers the window.

For more information about mouse control, please refer to "The K Window Manager Handbook".

By the way, KDE 1.1 allows you to change these mouse bindings.

13.3 Killing windows in KDE

There is a standard keybinding (Ctrl-Alt-Esc) that gives you a skull/crossbones cursor. Click that cursor on a window to kill it.

The keybindings are viewable/changeable from the KDE Control Center Keys->Global config. Not possible in KDE 1.0, though.
